Am F C/E F C/G

Your father was a rounder he played that rock and roll

E Am F/G C

A leaper and a bounder down to his gypsy soul

Am F C/E F C/G

The music was his angel and sorrow was his star

E Am F/G C

And those of us who follow might hope to reach as far

Dm Em F C/G E/G# Am

They're walking slow in Houston speechless in D.C.

Dm Em F C/GG

There's no way I could tell you what he meant to me

Am F C/E F C/G

Your mother's a survivor she'll do what must be done

E Am F/G C

Her children will revive her and help her see the sun

Am F C/E F C/G

She almost knew that unison but the singing stopped too soon

E Am F/G C

Now she shares the silence with a man up in the moon

Dm Em F C/G E/G# Am

To speak of missing persons tonight there's only one

Dm Em F C/GG

And we all carry with us what the man's begun

F/G C F/C C

And you can sing this song on July the Fourth

F/C C F/C C

In the sunny south and the frozen north

F/C C F E

It's a day of loss, it's your day of birth

Am F/G

Does it take a death to learn what a life is worth?

Am F C/E F C/G

Your brothers are all older and they'll take it in their stride

E Am F/G C

The world's a little colder but manhood's on their side

Am F C/E F C/G

Now you're the little girl-child and you look so much like him

E Am F/G C

And he's right there inside you each time you want to sing
